Ryan L. Bates
Traditional drumming player and teacher in Rochester
- 🇺🇸 Rochester, New York, United States
- Rochester Choir
- Since 2002
- English
I play traditional drumming and gospel. I started in 2002 with a secondhand instrument and a lot of stubbornness.
I teach about 7 students a week. Some of them are better than me now, which is the whole point. I volunteer at the food bank on Saturdays.
